Kadayawan Village: A Spectacle of Tribal Homes

One of the most memorable things I did during the recent Kadayawan Festival was to visit the Tribal Village at Magsaysay Park. The mini village created for the event was a spectacle of the tribal homes of Davao's 11 indigenous tribes.

My trip there was made more memorable by the presence of my two kids who went with me. I showed them around and somehow, we three got the chance to brush up on our Philippine history lessons particularly on the Mindanao tribes.

Davao, by the way, is home to 11 indigenous tribes. They are the Ata, Sama, Tagabawa, Ovu-Manuvo, Klata-Guiangan, Matigsalog, Kalagan, Maguindanaoan, Tausug, Iranun and Maranao.

Sharing here some photos of the tribal homes I took during our visit at the Kadayawan Cultural Village.
